New England Patriots WR Jeremy Ebert's (leg) leg injury is not considered serious but his chance for a spot on the roster would be affected greatly if he misses time during training camp. The team could keep him on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start the season and give him a chance to make the roster during the season.

New England Patriots WR Britt Davis, out of football last season until the team added him to the practice squad for the playoffs, has a slight chance of making the 53-man roster in training camp. He has good size at 6-foot-3, making him the tallest receiver on the roster other than WR Matt Roark, and he is relatively young at 26. However, what might work against Davis is the fact he doesn't figure to contribute much on special teams. His closest competition for a roster spot is expected to be WRs Jeremy Ebert, Jesse Holley, Roark and veteran WR Donte' Stallworth.
